The following example receives data from a light sensor using I2C. Sensor used is the BH1750FVI Digital Light Sensor. Please pay attention that for F1 module and F1 starter kit, I2C(0) is reserved as internal use, please start from I2C(1) for any new I2C bus for F1 module and F1 starter kit.
import time from machine import I2C import bh1750fvi i2c = I2C(1, freq=100000) #Remark: I2C(0) is reserved in F1 as internal I2C bus, please avoid using I2C(0) light_sensor = bh1750fvi.BH1750FVI(i2c, addr=i2c.scan()[0]) while(True): data = light_sensor.read() print(data) time.sleep(1)
Place this sample code into a file named bh1750fvi.py. This can then be imported as a library.
